The record-breaking cake was unveiled in the club’s 1867 Lounge during the Owls in the Park event.

The ‘cake ball’ is shaped like a football and adorned with the clubs crest and the number 150 to celebrate the anniversary of the club being founded.

Club Spokesman Trevor Braithwait said: “Around 15,000 people visited the stadium during the Owls in the Park event so we decided to attempt the record with a football shaped cake.

The record-breaking cake was unveiled in the club’s 1867 Lounge during the Owls in the Park event.

“It took our catering a few hours to make and we had ordered the ingredients in specifically due to it’s huge size.
“The cake was really well received by all of our fans, with over a thousand queuing up in orderly fashion to grab a slice.

“To be officially recognised the cake had to be made and eaten on the same day.

“Thanks to our fans we achieved the tall order and broke the record so it was a great success.”
